SCAD offers free services with Hook Towing Need a jump start? Locked your keys in the car? SCAD transportation and parking services and Hook Towing are now offering students, faculty and staff free lock-out and jump-start services within the downtown area. In the event of a breakdown, Hook Towing is also offering half price towing to the garage of your choice. For more information, or to request lock-out service or a jump start, call Hook Towing at 232-0541. Keep track of keys Faculty and staff should make sure to keep campus keys in a safe place. As a rule, all building keys issued to any individual should be kept with the individual at all times. This minimizes the theft of keys and the potential problems that may arise if those keys fall into the wrong hands. Beyond having to replace the key, lost or stolen keys often means the changing of locks, and return and reissue of keys to many others which results in lost time and money. For more information, call the office of physical resources at 525-5080.
